I explained the narrative essay in class and therefore have not prepared any written version of that lecture. In essence, however, I can tell you that the assignment involves writing 500-800 words about an incident that happened in your life that lasted less than 24 hours–a graduation, an auto accident, the birth of a baby, the death of a friend, etc. etc. The textbook has a chapter on narration. If this is unclear, then this will be the one essay you drop. Every student is allowed to drop one essay assignment.
